11. In the six hundredth year of Noaḥ’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of the heavens were opened.
12. And the rain was on the earth forty days and forty nights.
13. On that same day Noaḥ and Shĕm and Ḥam and Yepheth, the sons of Noaḥ, and Noaḥ’s wife and the three wives of his sons with them, went into the ark,
14. they and every living creature after its kind, and every beast after its kind, and every creeping creature that creeps on the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, every bird of every sort.
15. And they went into the ark to Noaḥ, two by two, of all flesh in which is the breath of life.
16. And those going in, male and female of all flesh, went in as Elohim had commanded him, and יהוה shut him in.
17. And the flood was on the earth forty days, and the waters increased and lifted up the ark, and it rose high above the earth.
18. And the waters were mighty and greatly increased on the earth, and the ark moved about on the surface of the waters.
19. And the waters were exceedingly mighty on the earth, and all the high mountains under all the heavens were covered.
20. The waters became mighty, fifteen cubits upward, and the mountains were covered.
21. And all flesh died that moved on the earth – birds and cattle and beasts and every creeping creature that creeps on the earth, and all mankind.
22. All in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, all that was on the dry land, died.
23. So He wiped off all that stand, which were on the face of the ground – both man and beast, creeping creature and bird of the heavens. And they were wiped off from the earth. And only Noaḥ was left, and those with him in the ark.
24. And the waters were mighty on the earth, one hundred and fifty days.
